OK'd Sterilization Of Jews, Austrian Nazi Confesses Detroiters Vote in Zionist Elections June 30, July 1 NUREMBERG, (JTA)—Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Austrian Nazi who was Hitler's governor of Austria and later of the Nether- lands, has told the Internation- al War Crimes Tribunal that "for a time" he tolerated steril- ization of male Jews in Holland. "It was voluntary," he declared, testifying in his own defense. He said that the shorthand record, according to which he ad- mitted that the idea of steriliza- tion was his own, was faulty work on the stenographer's part. After a complaint from a Christian church he had in- vestigated sterilization of Jewish women, and finding it a complex operation, ordered it stopped, he declared.
